Oh look! I found another magazine scan.
^This is a good one.
You've worked with so many different fans, do you ever get star struck?
Wade: No--I met Michael Jackson when I was five and I have been friends with him since then, and at that time he was the biggest star in the world you could ever meet. Right away he was like a regular dude to me; he was like my friend. Si I think I got over that whole thing at a really young age. Stardom never really mattered to me. So, no, I don't.
What was the experience like working with Michael Jackson?
Wade: It was amazing. I learned so much, I think that everything I've done and everything I will do in my life to a certain extent I credit to him just because of the values he taught me, and the work ethic he taught me. He's such a workaholic and such a perfectionist and will not quit until it's absolutely perfect. And when it's perfect he still hates it.
Also, he taught me to work for the pleasures in life. He helped me a lot when I was starting , even when I first started my interest in film directing, which is way back when I was seven.
Even then he would buy me a video camera, but instead of just giving it to me, he would give it to me and say, "Here's a video camera --I want you to take a week and learn how to use it, shoot some stuff. Come back and show me what you have done, If you've done something interesting with it you can keep it. But if you mess around with it I'm going to take it back."
So it really taught me to work for things and I think that's why I've never really become spoiled and never believed in that sort of thing.
